Sticky Note From God ~11.12.18~

Crowd Pleasers ~

Crowd pleasers,
filling up the pews
adapting God’s Word
with worldly views.

Changing the truth,
to delight men
not caring if God
they should offend.

Crowd pleasers,
seeking man’s approval
altering scriptures
seeing to their removal.

Seeking and wanting,
needing man’s favor
more than that of
their Lord and Savior.

Crowd pleasers,
filling up Sunday seats
and sadly God’s sheep . . .
are now being fleeced!

Deuteronomy 12:32

“What thing soever I command you,
observe to do it: thou shalt not
add thereto, nor diminish from it.”

1 Thessalonians 2:4

“But as we were allowed of God
to be put in trust with the gospel,
even so we speak; not as pleasing men,
but God, which trieth our hearts.”

Scripture Mutations ~

I hear about God’s love,
and tolerance
I hear about wealth
and being prosperous.

But, what I don’t hear,
theses days any more . . .
is the repentance of sin
lest it cause an uproar.

I hear about God’s love,
and stewardship
I hear about the greed
among the leadership.

But what I don’t hear,
is about sin’s liberation
for the Scriptures now have
too many mutations.

I hear about God’s love,
but not of His wrath
for no one these days . . .
wants to go down this path!

Matthew 15:9

“But in vain they do worship me,
teaching for doctrines
the commandments of men.”

K.I.S.S. ~

Keep It Simple Saints,
don’t get bogged down
in all the rhetoric
that keeps going around.

Keep It Simple Saints,
don’t listen to the heresy
just look into your Bible
and do what it has to say.

Keep It Simple Saints,
childlike faith is all you need
trust in your First Love
and let the Holy Spirit lead.

Keep It Simple Saints,
don’t get caught in the lies
discern for yourself the truth
and then only those apply.

Keep It Simple Saints,
some make salvation hard
and their misguided opinions
you will need to disregard.

Keep It Simple Saints,
it’s so easy to get tied down
by all the Scripture arguments
that for centuries . . .
have been going around!

2 Peter 2:1-2

“But there were false prophets
also among the people,
even as there shall be
false teachers among you,
who privily shall bring
in damnable heresies,
even denying the Lord
that bought them,
and bring upon themselves
swift destruction.

And many shall follow
their pernicious ways;
  by reason of whom the
way of truth shall be
evil spoken of.”

Dancing With the Wolves ~

So many today,
dancing with the wolves
so many are following
their slippery hooves.

So many today,
are deceivingly mislead
so many aren’t being
the truth, anymore fed.

So many today,
are living in the darkness
so many aren’t looking
for Christ and His likeness.

So many today,
hearing errant teachings
so many don’t discern
the lies they’re preaching.

So many today,
with wolves are dancing
so many can’t spot . . .
danger at first glancing!

Matthew 7:15

“Beware of false prophets,
which come to you in
sheep’s clothing,
but inwardly they are
ravening wolves.”

Sticky Note From God 04.19.16

Carried Away ~

To Your true Word Lord,
I will forever cleave
to the Life and Way
I will never leave.

To the false gospel,
I will not take heed
onto its heresies
my soul will not feed.

To Your ways Lord,
I’ll continue to obey
from the only true path
I’ll not be carried away.

To the false teachers,
I’ll refuse to listen
to their deceitfulness
I will not ever give in.

To Your true Word Lord,
I’ll not be tossed from
to the one they distort
I’ll remain forever numb!

~~~~~~~~

Ephesians 4:14

“That we henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro, and carried about with
every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men,
and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie
in wait to deceive;”

I Hear You Lord ~

I hear You Lord,
Your voice I recognize
I’m aware of the wolves
wearing a sheep’s disguise.

I hear You Lord,
I listen for Your inflection
I know the tone they use
lacks truth and direction.

I hear You Lord,
I know its You who’s speaking
I know the false promises
the others are preaching.

I hear You Lord,
Your voice is loud and clear
I know the words others use
are not what as they appear.

I hear You Lord,
it’s only You who I’ll follow
for the voice of the others
are deceptive and hollow!

~~~~~~~~~

John 10:4-5

“And when he putteth forth his own sheep,
 he goeth before them, and the sheep
follow him: for they know his voice.

And a stranger will they not follow,
but will flee from him: for they know
not the voice of strangers.”

Sticky Note to God 03.19.15

Liars ~

Liars, all liars
wolves in sheep skin
taking the Word of God
putting on it their own spin.

Twisting and slanting,
the Word until it fits
not caring what story
that it flips or knits.

Liars, all liars,
sin to them hasn’t a yoke
shunning the Gospel truth
turning the cross into a joke.

Filling up the pews,
counting all the money
lies on their greedy lips
taste as sweet as honey.

Liars, all liars
fruits that are rotting
stinking to high heaven
liars, who need stopping!

~~~~~~~

Matthew 7:15
King James Version

“Beware of false prophets,
which come to you
in sheep’s clothing,
but inwardly they are
ravening wolves.”
